Humility is the Key

The angel Lucifer fell from heaven
Solely on account of one passion – his pride.
It makes me wonder whether it is possible
To rise up to heaven
Solely on the strength of humility.

John Klimakos

I also believe it is the key or cornerstone to "rising up to heaven" or hearing from God.
2 Chron 7:14 gives the natural order of hearing from God.To be healed, we must be forgiven our sins. To be forgiven our sins, we must hear from heaven. To hear from heaven, we must turn from our sin. To turn our from sin, we must seek God. To seek God, we must learn to pray. To learn to pray, we must first humble ourselves.

2 Chronicles 7:14
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
